I sit here Desperately soaking up Whatever information I can find I can dig up I know that I am not meant To be doing this right here, right now Yet I continue I hope that I can take in all of this That I can find whatever Little bit That will help to stop the slight shake Take away the coldness Of my fingers
In desperation, I look up similar incidents That have occurred and I try To figure out If there is any end to this sheer insanity A reason for which This cursed world doesn't deserve To end tomorrow
I search, I search, I surf Trying to find some information That tells me this world Is not as cursed as it appears to be My fingers are still cold They're still shaking a bit I am still shocked I might just be panicking a bit
All I want right now Is some solution Some answer To these rapes that have occurred I want to be blind again I don't want to know That these dumbfoolishdisgusting men (creatures) felt that that woman deserved it
I need to know that this isn't some god-complex I need to know that deep inside no one wants to protect them I want to see them castrated, locked up, executed I need them to be done away Because they need to be made an example of
Women cannot step out of their houses Without being terrified I am tired of controlling my fist When someone suggests it was the clothes they wore That that is what attracted them I can't stop the shaking That is attributed more towards anger Than anything else
I need something done Our pity won't bring her shattered sanity back It won't make her ready to trust Any man ever again Our pity marches With candles and tears in our (her) eyes Will not make her feel anything but disgust (hatred) Towards herself
A shattered mind, An injured body, A broken trust
She has lost these things And they They just seem bent On blaming it On scraps of cloth
*(are you ******* kidding me?)
